The air outside his window is warm
Torn, he debates whether to do homework
Or wait till its dark to do this task
Ask him if he cares about school
Fools take crap from teachers
And conform to the masses

And outside are the masses
Sitting content in their homes so warm
Forming their lives in accordance to what is said by teachers
Leeches who such out fun with homework
Jerks with no life outside of school
With out question they jump to the task

At work they perform their task
Each individual forms part of the masses
That went to learn at school
Basking in knowledge so warm
In the knowledge gained from homework
Assigned by grouchy teachers

And those poor teachers
A slave to the state’s will and task
Who can’t remember the boredom of homework
Who are parts of the masses
So sure of themselves, their hearts so warm
Confident in the greatness of their school

And what do we achieve in school?
People say any one can be your teacher
Why go to school on days so warm
When you can learn from people who matter and will rise to the task
Individuals who are not part of the masses
Who’s teachings actually matter and will not feel like homework

Why do we do Homework
We don’t learn anything at School
Life’s greatest moments occur away from the Masses
Be your own Teacher
Step up to the Task
Your heart will be Warm

We like being Warm
But I must start on this Homework
If I want to get into a good college, I’ll start this Task
I must attend School
And learn from the Teacher
And conform to the Masses

As part of the Masses
The world will warm
Maybe I’ll be a Teacher
And assign lots of Homework
The time has come to start this Task
And get the most out of School

The Voyage

The brightness of the stars, out shone he sliver moon,
The warmth of the breeze reminded me of home,
Our ship sped along, propelled by the breeze,
We were making decent time, sailing on the sea,

I sat on the deck; the wind tossed my hair,
It was my watch, but I didn’t really care,
A smile crossed my lips, as I thought about my home
That was all I wanted, not to sail and be alone,

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But my heart slowly breaks
A steady throbbing ache

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But I still rue the day
The captain stole my love away

Several months ago, we ran into a storm,
The raging winds and stinging rain, did our ship much harm,
Broken up and battered, the storm left us for dead,
With all the damage done, I thought we’d sink like lead,

Our captain lost an arm, our ship had lost its mast,
We had to find dry land, so we jumped to the task,
Our wounded captain toiled, down with the men,
Even with his wound, the ship he helped to mend,

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But my heart slowly breaks
A steady throbbing ache

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But I still rue the day
The captain stole my love away

An island straight ahead, we landed there that day,
Their I met my love, there’s nothing else to say,
She stood on the dock, and watched our ship land,
I almost fainted, as she waved her fair hand,

She worked at the inn, where the crew and I stayed,
I tried my best to meet her, but things got in the way,
The captain introduced, himself with a bow,
She batted her eyes, and watched with a smile,

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But my heart slowly breaks
A steady throbbing ache

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But I still rue the day
The captain stole my love away

About a month passed, they had their wedding day,
The captain and his bride, were both bright and gay,
My heart was rent in two, my smile very strained,
I knew from that moment, I’d never love again!

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But my heart slowly breaks
A steady throbbing ache

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But I still rue the day
The captain stole my love away

The Voyage

The stars were bright, yet the moon barely shone,
The breeze was warm, yet I wanted to go home,
Our ship sped along, propelled by the breeze,
We were making decent time, sailing on the sea,

I sat on the deck, the wind in my hair
It was my watch, but I really didn’t care,
All I need is to be home, not sailing and alone
Always on the water, never knowing where to go,

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But my heart slowly breaks
A steady throbbing ache

I’ve sailed the seven seas
I’ve seen so many things
But I still rue the day
The captain stole my love away
